John Cena is always a hot topic in the world of professional wrestling, but he really got people talking on Saturday night when he finally turned heel and aligned himself with The Rock. Cena is now set to challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship on the Grandest Stage of Them All.
Recently Booker T addressed John Cena’s big heel turn on his Hall of Fame podcast, and he praised the angle while talking about Cena’s quest to win his 17th WWE World Championship.
“I loved it, man. It’s just what wrestling is. When you think you figured it out and they throw you another curveball, like this one right here, everybody’s [saying] John Cena’s gonna come back and win the title. That’s what everybody was thinking about. John Cena’s going to win the Chamber and go on and break the record. I think that’s the story, not John Cena turning heel to actually get that accomplished.”
“But no, man. I love what wrestling is. You think you got it all figured out, they throw you a curveball. Heading into WrestleMania season, I don’t care what anybody says, this is not about John Cena’s ability. This is about the story, and I think that’s what wrestling is….With John Cena doing what he’s done with The Rock, totally mixing it up, it’s just great TV. If anybody look at [as] anything other than that, they just got a problem with the show.”
